What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Pakistan briefly closed its airspace to Taiwanese cargo and passenger flights, leading to rerouting of flights by China Airlines and EVA Air. Islamabad subsequently issued permits allowing the two Taiwanese carriers to use Pakistani airspace until March 27, 2027. Officials in Islamabad defended the initial restrictions by citing adherence to Beijing's One China policy.
